The only clue i've been able to get is that when windows live installer starts trying to install, it pops up saying that another installer is running or a program is preventing the new installation. I'm at a complete loss here - any thoughts? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had a Toshiba that had one. You could also try doing one update at a time to see which one may be causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I contacted the support team where i bought the lappie from and the pricks told me that Microsoft had been sending duff updates out - spastics, if that's the case then why did they install ok on every other win 7 pc and lappie i got?!
